Planetside 2

[kaid]

From what I have been seeing they are basically making the liberator more like a close support gunship instead  of a high altitude bomber. The fired bombs are more like a grenade launcher from the clips I have seen so useful but different role than the old bombs. That said its still alpha and they appear to be trying lots and lots of stuff option wise.

Seems I was a bit off. I went back through the video and took screen shots of the tool tips.

Looks like they removed bombs, and added....well, fired bombs. Of course, as stated in the video, a lot of this is for testing, and may not make it to the finial game.

Planetside 2 - Dual Commentary with Matt Higby and TotalBiscuit

[Sky]

I have to say, watching these videos makes me really want to fly the Vanu/Cylon thing. I'm TR thumper through and through, but it's tempting.

[Mrbloodworth]

I really do not like the Auto repair and auto Re-supply. There are invisible walls over land. People get resources automatically every once in a while, just because ( Everyone is special? ). You can switch seats with a key press, you can enter any vehicle from any angle. You can't kick an empire completely off a continent, they have an impenetrable base. You can bail instantly from anything. They have power increases in my Planetside. I thought this was a War game.

I thought this was a War game.

Umm, since when?

Note the 2 next to the name.

There will be a significant number of players asking for more "war" once this thing launches and they are going to have to patch it in later.

LMAO. Well played.

[Mrbloodworth]

New Killcam. Its definitely better.

[Surlyboi]

Well, that's not bad.

PlanetSide 2 Empires at War E3 2012 Trailer

[Sky]

How do these shitty voice actors keep getting work? Sounds like a couple of the talentless twats that did Rift. Either that or horrid, horrid direction and writing. Or both.

Cringe-worthy. Sounds like a shitty dubbed japanese 80s saturday morning cartoon rather than a war game.

Also, need to stop with: The. Three. Words. Hint: it only works if the three words work as a phrase AND independently, that's the whole point.

I love where they're going with the game, but ye gods that's a terribad trailer. Someone hire new marketing. I'm available, if that's what professional money buys :)

Planetside 2 - Dual Commentary with Matt Higby and TotalBiscuit

No hit scan weapons :) Bullet drop on everything except lasers!

That makes me really happy. Totally OK with one shot one kill headshot snipers when they've got to time it and deal with the bullets trajectory

[Lantyssa]

Are all Vanu weapons lasers?

You say that now. Wait 'til I snipe you while you're hiding behind a rock because the bullet dropped just enough to land in your dome.

I do not know. I think most of them are is what they implied. Its somewhere in the video

[01101010]

Are all Vanu weapons lasers?

Traditionally, the Vanu-specific weapons are all energy-based.

That last vid in particular is the Planetside I knew and loved. I'm glad they kept the turbine hum of the Galaxies. That sound is like a home cooked meal.

Planetside 2 - Live from E3 - 4/5/6 TB

[Sky]

Maybe showing retards playing on the show floor isn't the best idea.

[Mrbloodworth]

I was going to say something about target audience, but decided not to.

Many things from the videos look fantastic. But I still have many reservations.

[Surlyboi]

I love the ammo counter semi-circle in the HUD, a lot of that looks and feels like it could be related to PS, but there's still a little too much BF/CoD in there. I'm hoping playing it changes my mind, but we'll see.

E3 2012: Walkthrough Part 2 (Cam) HD

[Mrbloodworth]

We’re running almost exclusively on GeForce GTX 670’s here at the E3 booth. We’re really happy with the performance we’re getting out of the 670 video cards, and we can’t wait to see more and more of those out there so everybody can be running Planetside 2 at 2560x1600, which is what we run it at back at Sony Online Entertainment

http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/articles/e3-2012-next-gen-planetside-2-powered-by-the-geforce-gtx-670/

Thats a rather pricy card. Any suggestions on equivalent or more middle of the road options?

[Yoru]

The 660s should be coming out soon, from what I hear - circa July. Those should be more reasonably priced, and should drop the prices on 560s and 570s considerably.

[Engels]

Look at the rez they're running, tho. Unless you have a gigantor monitor, you don't need that. I suspect that it'll run just fine on a 500 Nvidia series or a 6000 series ATI card of some heft. At least I bloody well hope so. If they Vanguard this shit up, I'm gonna have a screaming meltdown.

[Sky]

I'm hoping my dual 460s will continue to kick much ass for a while at 1080p. My main concern lies along the lines of all the cool graphical tricks they're throwing in...I'm a whore for that stuff. The night stuff is really coming together in the latest videos.

If you are not looking to run it at that high of a rez and something more common like 1900 by 1080 any of the 500 series should be fine.

Whoever thought it would be a good idea distribute beta keys through Twitter, now in parts or in randomized order, should be run over by a real life replica of the Sunderer in front of their family, including their pets.

That has Higby's fingerprints all over it. Really dislike that guy.

What is it about posting in threads about games you don't like?

[Surlyboi]

I don't particularly like a lot of the directions it's going either, but I'll still try it out.
